Drive Me
No One Is Innocent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu dois te servir de ce qui reste de braises
Sentir venir dans la houle qui se dresse
Conduis moi au sommet malgré l'altitude
Conduis moi où l'on rève de changer l'habitude
On se ressemble
Cavalier seul à fleur de peau
Etonne moi, maintenant
Etonne moi
Tu dois te servir de ce qui reste de braises




Désobéir pour contourner le pire
Alors étonne moi, maintenant

Overall Meaning

These lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a desire for change. The singer is asking their partner or someone they trust to take the lead and guide them through a difficult time. The line "Tu dois te servir de ce qui reste de braises" (You must use what remains of the embers) shows that there is a sense of desperation and clinging to whatever hope is left. The following line "Sentir venir dans la houle qui se dresse" (Feeling the wave that rises) suggests that there is a looming crisis or difficulty, and the singer needs someone to help them navigate through it.


The chorus "Conduis moi" (Drive me) repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the need for guidance and direction. The line "On se ressemble" (We are alike) suggests that the person the singer is asking for help understands what they are going through and has likely experienced something similar. The notion of being a "Cavalier seul à fleur de peau" (Lone horseman with thin skin) implies vulnerability and sensitivity to the situation, but also a fierce determination to overcome it.


The line "Désobéir pour contourner le pire" (Disobey to avoid the worst) suggests that the situation is dire and requires taking risks and breaking rules to find a solution. The final plea "Alors étonne moi, maintenant" (So surprise me, now) shows a desire for something unexpected and new, indicating a willingness to take risks and step out of their comfort zone to find a way forward.
